    The reason they all started doing this is to make the buildings easier to sell if they decide to close the location. Basically anything could go into the bottom one with minimal remodeling, but even if the top was closed, you could probably guess it used to be a McDonalds, which some companies don’t like. Unique brand architecture was essentially another victim of financialization.
